Joyce Ababio College of Creative Design (JACCD) is a creative design institution launched in 2013 in Accra, Ghana by designer Joyce Ababio who created and ran Vogue Style School of Fashion and Design for 17 years. Building on that history, JACCD is a new design and an independent private institution with programs in Fashion Design, Graphic Design and Entrepreneurship.
The original school, Vogue Style School of Fashion and Design, began instruction in March 1995 with a class of 5 students offering only a certificate course. It quickly grew to 200 students by the year 2000 and has gained a reputation for innovation and quality education in Ghana. Joyce Ababio College of Creative Design is the first school in Ghana to adopt and blend the liberal arts method of education with design for the majors in Fashion Design, Interior Design, Graphic Design, Product Design in Jewellery and Accessories and Textiles. In 2013, it will commence by running 3 programs - Fashion Design, Graphic Design and Entrepreneurship.
Joyce Ababio College of Creative Design was founded by Joyce Ababio, a Ghanaian Fashion Designer who spent over 13 years living and working in the United States. Joyce Ababio left Ghana in 1980 to attend St. Cloud State University offering Medical Technology and transferred to Texas Women's University to take Fashion Design after which she worked in the fashion industry until she returned to Ghana in 1993. Experiencing the need to move the fashion industry in Ghana to the lime light, and what education can have on one's life, Joyce Ababio embarked on a mission in 1995 to provide greater design educational opportunities in Ghana.
